When you come to buy a machine, you’ll need to consider what you are legally qualified to ride. If in doubt, check with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.

The question of seat belts is far less obvious. The decision on whether or not you have to wear seat belts is down to the weight and age of your vehicle.

Building an ultralight trike yourself is one of the most exciting, yet pretty achievable things you can do to achieve your dream. If you think you need a master’s degree in engineering and construction genius, you are wrong. People like me and you build ultralight trikes every day. And yes, they fly on them!

You can purchase plans online even in download able format. The prices rare exceed few hundreds (and often are under $100), but the plans contain everything you need.

If you have thought about buying a motorcycle but were nervous about the safety issues, you might want to think about buying a trike instead.

If you think that all trikes are like the Reliant Robins of the past, and have been put off buying one because you don’t like the way they look, you need to check out today’s modern trikes. They show up at biker meetings all over the country because they look so good. Trikes have become a modern status symbol.

I have never ever thought about having 3 wheels before I always imagined old people crawling along in the cycle lane to pick up their pension, and that is definitely not me. I spent some time researching the Goldwing trike as well as looking at the Harley which was also great fun as it adds to the anticipation.
